Today’s the last day to enter the free wedding photography giveaway by Gem Photo. So, if you haven’t submitted your entry yet, I, uhh… I suggest you, uhh, get on that straight away. Click here to find out more!

Vendor Love launched on Wednesday, and we couldn’t be more excited about it! We’ve received incredible feedback about it, beyond-our-over-achieving-dreams-feedback, and we’re thrilled so many of you beautiful brides out there love it so much! One could say that our goal is to be a bit like a dating site for brides and wedding vendors, creating ideal matches between brides and vendors, except without the high sex-on-the-first-date frequency. So far, we’ve kept one-night-stands to a minimum, so we’re pretty thrilled about that! ;) But seriously, we’re beyond glad everyone’s finding it so useful and easy to navigate, and just plain loving it so much (we do try to read all of your emails and tweets, we’re slowly but surely making our way through it all, so thank you EVERYONE for writing!). Our vendors already started getting countless inquiries within the first 24 hours (!!!) of the launch, so we’re pretty freakin’ excited about that, obvs.

Brides: we’ll be continually adding vendors to the guide, so keep checking back for even more insane talent!

Ok, that’s a wrap… for now. Of course, there are approximately a LOT more of these awesome bits and pieces all over the web this time of year. I just thought I’d gather up some of my absolute favorites for you guys to check out. I’m dying to know what you think? So, what think you?

Another thing I’m dying to know; what are your holiday plans? Family, friends, parties… what are you guys up to this season?
